'No, and that was the other thing, she kept going into the
twins, she kept putting her hands on the twins to check they
were breathing, she was very much concerned in checking that
they were okay. But they were okay, I mean, they were fine, they
didn't, they were asleep, but at the time it did seem weird, I
remember thinking, you know, when the Police came they turned
the lights on, there was loads of noise, obviously from the
moment Kate discovered that Madeleine was gone, the screaming
and the shouting and there was a lot of noise and they, they
didn't, you know, so much as blink'.

What did I see? Well Kate and Gerry, Gerry was
absolutely, absolutely distraught, absolute, you know, I mean
I’ve never heard a man make the noises he made, err and Kate,
Kate was just err you can’t, you just can’t put into words how
they were I mean they were just, I remember I went through into
the room where err where Madeleine was sleeping and err and she
said you know, somebody, you know, she’s been taken because she
said that the shutters and that had been open, the window open.
Err the twins were still asleep in the cot and I, with all the
noise going on I don’t know how they slept through it which
makes me think there was, they must have been err drugged with
something.”

Let's see: the media
forwarded the hypothesis
that the children could have
been sedated to be kept
asleep and allow some rest
to the parents.

Distant in time Kate's
father, the grandfather of
the minor, Brian Healy,
admits to the press that
Kate could have administered
some medication to the
little girl, Calpol, to help
the child (children'') to
sleep, contrary to what his
daughter Kate had stated.

Kate, through the PJ
inspector that acted as
'liaison' with the family
asked why samples weren't
taken from the twins in
order to test that
hypothesis. She knew well
enough at that time, more
than 3 months later, that
such exam would be inviable.

She went further and said
that we ' the investigation
' should verify that the
kidnapper had sedated
Madeleine, to accomplish the
action and he had also
sedated the twins 'to
consummate the act' however
she didn't say that at the
right moment.

Strangely, Kate also made several
requests, three months after the
disappearance of Madeleine, that the
police should take blood, hair and
nail tests of Madeleine's twin
siblings, because, as she said, she
remembered that on the day of
Madeleine's disappearance, in spite
of all the commotion and noise made
by the authorities and other persons
who were looking for Madeleine in
apartment 5A of the OC, the twins
never woke up, having been
transported to another apartment,
they remained asleep, due to which
she now presumes that they were
under the effect of some sedative
drug that a presumed abductor had
administered to the three children
in order to be able to abduct
Madeleine, a situation which Kate
refers to being possible according
to what she read in a criminal
investigation manual given to her by
the British authorities, that would
have been the procedure of the
abductor in the real case involving
abduction, rape and murder of the
girl.

From the above we can be pretty certain that the twins had been sedated that night. Police, staff, friends and even the McCanns got this impression.

The question is who sedated them and why.

A burglar entering the apartment looking for valuables and getting disturbed by three toddlers would not have the means nor the time to sedate three children only to leave without any valuables. A completely implausible theory.

An abductor who had specifically chosen to take Madeleine and not her siblings, which in itself seems to be illogical, might have sedated her to keep her quiet for the duration of the abduction but why take the risk and time to sedate the twins as well? All in a short timeframe with the risk of the parents entering any time for checks. A possible but rather implausible theory. Even if Kate McCann found this theory in some manual given to her by British authorities.The other theory, which the Portuguese police have followed, is that it was the parents who had sedated all three children every night in order to be able to dine at the tapas restaurant without interruption.Given their professions as doctors and the general impression of well cared for children plus the fact that at least Madeleine was awake and crying for more than an hour on Tuesday night, according to the statement by their neighbour Mrs. Fenn, this, at least to me, seems implausible as well.

Especially the twins, who had been at the creche all day without sleeping in the afternoon at just over 2 years of age, would not have needed any sedation to fall asleep properly at night after baths. Even IF Madeleine had been given something to sleep after Tuesday night, I doubt this was the case for the twins.

Which leads us to the fourth reason why they might have been sedated that Thursday night. It might have been essential to avoid them waking up during that night because it was already anticipated that this night would be different and that they were spared the possible sighting the Smith family encountered later that night.Four theories regarding sedation....
